Image server problems
After a day of intermittent faults, our image hosting provider pixxxels.org seems to be down. Hopefully this is a temporary glitch; while their site is down, avatar images won't display in our game.
Pixxxels has been reliable for the past 6 months, but I need to set up a website of our own, so we're not relying on a third party to serve the avatar images. I'll get right on this as an urgent task. (This will delay 1.3.6, unfortunately, while I work on this emergency, but I will keep you updated here.)

is newgrounds.com still approving the next version of the game?
It's up now, BUT the image server problems are affecting the Newgrounds version as well. I'll fix the NG version next.
Update: I've set up secure private hosting for a new website. Will get the images redirected next. This is likely to take some time as it's a really long, boring task. :-(
I'm being Captain Obvious here, but wouldn't the Find and Replace-function in Notepad++ solve this quickly?
Is there any reason that you don't package the pictures in with the file (other than massive bloat down the line?)
I plan to implement that in future – maybe in the very near future, since it looks like I'll have to redirect all the image links anyway, might as well set up local imaging while I'm working on them, :-(
